The screams downstairs frightened Gu Qingzhou.

The one who screamed was the fourth aunt of the Gu family, Xiangxue. Her amniotic fluid had broken and she was in contractions.

The uterine contractions made her feel unbearable and screamed terribly.

Everyone was in a hurry to take the fourth concubine to the hospital, Gu Guizhang hugged her body, the second concubine and the third concubine helped lift their feet, and moved the fourth concubine into the car.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Fourth Auntie was still crying.

Everyone went downstairs, including Gu Zhang, Gu Wei, and Gu Shao.

Gu Guizhang's car left first, and the second wife and third wife also went. Seeing Gu Qingzhou standing beside him, he asked, "Miss Qingzhou going?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded and got into the carriage.

She was wearing slippers embroidered with blooming peonies, and a very thick wind cloak with pajamas inside, but she couldn't tell because she was wrapped tightly.

Gu Shao and the others stood at the door, hesitating whether to follow.

Gu Ying asked Gu Ying, "Sister, what should we do?"

"Go back to sleep." Gu Zhang said.

Gu Shao also followed the two sisters upstairs, but he couldn't get there if he wanted to, and the family car drove away.

Sitting in the car, Gu Qingzhou listened to the second and third aunties talking.

"When she was having dinner, she was a little uncomfortable, and she should have sent it at that time." The second aunt blamed herself.

The third wife said: "It's the master who wants to stay in the daytime. After all, the emergency room at night is too expensive."

Gu Qingzhou said nothing. She felt that the third concubine was too guessing, but Gu Guizhang didn't take it seriously and wanted to delay it until the daytime.

The fourth concubine was in good health. She gave birth to Lian'er in the countryside before, and the child soon fell to the ground.

When I arrived at the hospital at 4:00 in the morning, the child fell to the ground at 4:50. It was a daughter.

Gu Guizhang's face was not good-looking.

He doesn't want a daughter, he wants a son.

After dawn, the female relatives can go in to see the fourth concubine and the children.

The baby weighed five jins and four taels, and was red and wrinkled and not beautiful, but the second and third aunts praised the child like a flower.

The fourth concubine has been dozing off with her eyes closed, looking tired and sad. She probably wants to have a son too, right?

In the Gu family, what is the use of a daughter?

Gu Guizhang has four daughters, and the fourth concubine also saw how he treated them.

It was because he saw it that he was disheartened.

When Gu Guizhang was sitting on the chair outside smoking a cigarette, Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and said to him, "Abba, my classmate has made an appointment to congratulate her on her birthday. It may be two days, or I'll call and resign."

"Resign what?" Gu Guizhang waved his hand, "Don't you need to communicate? If you agree to quit, who will interact with you in the future?"

He threw the cigarette **** on the ground and stomped it out: "What's the joy of giving birth to a prodigal? Besides, what can you do at home, change diapers, or breastfeed? Going to help you!"

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou said, "Abba, I'll go first."

Gu Guizhang waved his hand, signaling her to go first.

The morning sun is faint, and the early morning in February is slightly cold, the bottom of the sleeves is soaked in coolness, the mist in the distance is like a veil lingering, and the tops of the green trees are bathed in the moist morning mist.

In the distant sky, the morning glow is bright red, dyeing the stratus clouds, and the scorching sun hides behind the brocade-like clouds, half-covered.

Today is a good day, but Gu Qingzhou can't feel the spring flowers.

Gu Qingzhou returned to the ward, said goodbye to them, went home to freshen up first, and then went to meet at Li's house.

The Li family has a large truck with flowers, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers and earth in the compartment.

Because there were fourteen girls, the car could not fit, so I had to use a truck.

Li Hua was very embarrassed.

Although it smells bad, everyone is still scrambling to get up, not showing disgust, afraid that the classmates will laugh at them being hypocritical and uneducated.

Everyone wants a beautiful and delicate futon on a bench.

After Gu Qingzhou got into the car, he relied on Yan Luoshui to take a nap, and Huo Zuojing also came and sat on Gu Qingzhou's left hand.

Li Hua was very excited along the way, singing and laughing with everyone from time to time. She is naturally lively and talented, but she has no scheming, and it is very relaxing to play with Li Hua.

"Is Qingzhou sick?" Seeing Gu Qingzhou sleeping, Li Hua asked worriedly.

Gu Qingzhou didn't really fall asleep, she was dozing, she opened her eyes and said, "No, I woke up at three in the morning."

Then, she told everyone that her aunt had given birth to a daughter.

Most of Gu Qingzhou's classmates are the daughters of the original wife, and they all harbor some innate disgust for the children born by his concubine.

They talked about a lot of their own affairs, all about their concubine, and they felt a sense of common hatred. Even if the concubine at home is not bad, I am embarrassed to say it in this big environment.

Gu Qingzhou continued to doze off.

"...A Hua, why didn't you invite Wan Min?" Gu Qingzhou asked her when Li Hua approached Gu Qingzhou.

Li Hua was embarrassed.

"Tell the truth." Gu Qingzhou said, "Did Wan Min say something?"

Li Hua nodded: "Wan Min said, you and Luo Shui may not like her very much, it would be too disappointing if she came. I thought, I'm closer to you, I don't ask you for no reason, only Wan Min , so she said so herself, I'm still very happy, Wan Minman will think of me."

If Wan Min didn't say that, Li Hua wouldn't invite her either.

Li Hua may be innocent, but her family is in politics, and her parents are not stupid.

Yan Luoshui is the daughter of the general staff of the military government, and Gu Qingzhou is the future daughter-in-law of the military government. This status is far superior to Wan Min.

"Did Wan Min propose to come to the flower garden for your birthday?" Gu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Li Hua said: "Yes, yes, Qingzhou, you guessed right. Wan Min said, this year is my eighteenth birthday, and I have to live something different. Every year, I eat cakes and a few friends give gifts. It's really boring."

Gu Qingzhou knew it.

Wan Min has been flattering Li Hua for a long time, and it is impossible to waste her time.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said to Li Hua, "There will be a surprise today."

"Really?" Li Hua was excited, "Did you arrange it?"

"No, Wan Min arranged it." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Li Hua was puzzled: "Wan Min?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded affirmatively.

"Will she come?" Li Hua said, "She said it was inconvenient for her to come here, but I know you and Luo Shui don't mind..."

"She will come. She is surprised, how could she miss it?" Gu Qingzhou said, "Maybe, she will bring others."

"Who is who? Who else?" Li Hua was at a loss now.

Gu Qingzhou patted her hand gently: "If you understand, it's not a surprise!"

Li Hua is in a good mood.

This year, there are no elders, no parents around, and her birthday is all up to her temperament. She is like a bird in flight, flapping her wings, wishing she could not rest for a moment.

While talking, the big truck stopped, and the driver put a low bench.

Everyone stepped on the bench to get out of the car, it was fresh and exciting, and their emotions were very high.

In the early spring, the trees in Yuecheng were verdant, and the flowers were not yet blooming. Therefore, when I went to the flowerbed, I could see the red and green in the greenhouse from a distance, and everyone's interest was raised.

Wan Min said, "Let's settle down for some tea first, or go to the flower garden first?"

"Go to the garden first!" Everyone said in unison.

The servant in charge of the flowerbed brought them rubber rain boots.

Li Hua said, "Put them all on, the flowerbed is full of mud, don't get your leather shoes dirty."

The rain boots were specially prepared by the Li family. They were all brand-new and dry, and they were comfortable and flat to wear.

Everyone followed Li Hua into the first flower garden greenhouse.

The greenhouse is warm and the flowers are sweet and greasy.

There are all kinds of roses planted in it, and the gardener sprinkled the water. On the full petals, crystal water droplets are dotted, and the fragrance is strong.

There are big red roses, pink roses, white roses and even extremely rare black roses.

Wan Min picked up a few roses for them to play with.

In addition to roses, there are other varieties, such as orchids, narcissus, lily, white chrysanthemum, sweet-scented osmanthus, white tea, etc. There are flowers of various colors and seasons.

All girls love flowers, and they all fell into it for a while. They lingered in the flowerbed for two hours, but they didn't really want to come out.

The steward came in and said, "Miss Fifth, it's one o'clock now, and lunch is ready."

Li Hua smiled and said, "Come back in the afternoon, let's go eat first. I'll take you back to see the flower garden that my family keeps, it's even more fun than this."

The people went away happily.

In this village, there are hardly many farmhouses, all of them are the fields of the Li family, filled with countless flower greenhouses, and there are several houses where the workers and stewards of the Li family live.

There is a courtyard in the middle, an old-fashioned house with wooden doors and windows. The entrance is a two-person screen enclosure, and the courtyard is just around the screen enclosure.

The materials in the yard are exquisite, and the furniture is simple and exquisite. Gu Qingzhou was dumbfounded by the nanmu furniture in the whole room.

Nanmu is the most expensive, and it is better than the sofa shipped from Italy. The Li family is actually placed in the countryside.

"I've never seen this kind of bed, what's it called?" The girls cheered from the back.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at it and saw a red sandalwood walking bed. This kind of bed was like a small house, with doors and windows, and there were various small cabinets inside, where you could put jewelry and snacks.

Just when they were amazed around the old-fashioned stepping bed and were about to go around, Gu Qingzhou went out quietly.

She walked out along the ridge for about ten minutes, and gradually reached the main road. She stopped when she couldn't see the Li family's house.

She waited for less than three minutes when she saw the two adjutants running behind the woods. They had changed into their most ordinary clothes, gray trousers and turquoise tops, like farmers.

"Miss Gu, what happened?"

Every time Gu Qingzhou is alone, especially when she goes to a remote place, she hopes that the adjutants who follow her will show up. This is a self-evident agreement.

"Today, there will be a group of people coming to Zhuangzi, there may be several. Be careful and arrest them when you see them. Do you have a gun?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

These adjutants are all very vigilant, highly skilled in martial arts, and armed with guns.

"Take it, Miss Gu."

"After you have caught it, examine it carefully and use a more ruthless method, so that they can explain everything clearly. When the trial understands, put a signal gun to deliver the letter to me, and guard it nearby." Gu Qingzhou said.

The adjutant said yes.

They don't ask anyone, they just follow orders.
